Newly awarded grants speeding along self-driving cars in Columbus

Everyone is always talking about how bad Columbus drivers are so it’s timely that a local tech company just landed a multi-million grant to develop autonomous cars.

Pillar Technology also received a $2 million grant from JobOhio to create a research, design, and autonomous car test environment facility at an undisclosed location in central Ohio, reports 10TV.

The tech company formerly helped to revolutionize the farming industry with self-driving tractors.
